GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME TO THE EARLY KNOCK. 07/02/2025 WEEK 1 FEBRUARY 2025. *THIS WEEKS THÈME* : THE POWER OF DISCIPLINE AND DETERMINATION *TOPIC* : BE DETERMINED TO ACCEPT CORRECTION WITH HUMILITY *INTRO* Proverbs 10:17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth. Be determined to take corrections with humility, there's growth in correct, because it is the means to accept feedback or criticism gracefully, acknowledging that you may not be perfect and being open to learning and improving from the feedback, without becoming defensive or resistant; Every outstanding figure or personality has got a coach, lack of a coach or someone to put a check on you is a sign of pride and failure. Moses was almost doing well thanks to the father in-law who corrected his error of thinking he was the only one who could get it done the God's way alone. Exodus 18. The six intentional ways to practice taking corrections in humility are: -SEE CORRECTIONS AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH AND LOVE. essentially, viewing correction as an opportunity for growth rather than an attack on your character. Proverbs 12:1 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. -PRACTICE ACCEPTING FEED BACKS. Accepting feedback as a gift: Consider correction as a way someone is trying to help you improve, not as a personal attack. Isaiah 51:7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. -PRACTICE LISTENING Active listening: Pay close attention to the feedback being given, trying to understand the perspective of the person offering it. James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: -EXAMINED YOURSELF. Self-reflection: Evaluate the feedback honestly and consider whether it holds merit. 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? -AVOID DEFENSIVENESS Avoiding defensiveness: Don't immediately dismiss criticism or try to justify your actions without considering the other person's point of view. -APPRECIATE YOUR COACH Expressing gratitude: Thank the person for providing feedback, even if it's difficult to hear. Proverbs 10:17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth. *SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES: Proverbs 10:17, 2 Corinthians 13:5, James 1:19.
